Have you considered using sign language? I believe it really helps with hand and language skills in young children. I recommend starting simple with a few nouns. Signs for food usually gets their attention.

questions about getting started

Thanks for the advice! I am more concerned right now that her life be rich and full than she can write her ABC's anyway, I just want to stay on track for where she should be to "start" school next year. I will keep the suggestions in mind. I am wondering if some sort of manipulatives would be a good starting place instead of "drawing a line" to match colors or letters etc. maybe we could find some matching games or something like that...She loves the workbook I bought her and goes through it and points out the names of letters, animals, etc...but doesn't get the activities concept of it yet but I am sure it will come.
Thanks again,
Wendy
